Nice, clean, kiddo activities
livy h.

Update ***. Member about 1.5 yrs now Listen up parents of kids ::: this warm kiddo pool basically closes at noon. Often. Reopens later. So if you are a working parent and have Sat Sundays off, think twice. Look- it closes often on weekends in the middle of the day to old arthritis warm pool classes. They only have enough life guards to watch the elderly, thus tossing all the families with little kids to the nearby freezing pool. Although the Y membership is expensive and they went up on prices again, there are not enough lifeguards to let the members with kids actually use the pool after the parents are done with their am workouts and want to head to the pool. Also - the warm pool is shut down during the summer during these mid hour (s) to accommodate the camp kids WHO DO NOT USE THE POOL. Correct, they do not use the pool. All the camp kids and are sent to the cold pool. They close the warm pool for reasons they themselves are unaware of if you ask. Perhaps they do not want the camp kids to wander over the warm pool. Perhaps they do not hire enough help to watch all the camp kids. Either way the cold pool is the only option, it becomes way over crowded with regular members and their kids AND then all the camp kids. I have heard they have smaller groups in the swim lessons now. But when I joined my kids in the swim classes - beginner swimmers - there were way too many kids per instructor. Very nice. Has kids camp in summer. Has a child watch area while i work out. Feels safe. Kids like it. Nice pools. Couple of the lifeguards are fabulous. Acouple are not. Nice family bathrooms. Clean place.

I've been going to Uncommon Practice for 6 months now. I was told pilates was going to change my…read morelife but I didn't realize how big of an impact it would actually have. Being able to do things without pain has been so amazing. I went on a trip and knew that I wouldn't have been able to do a lot of the things I did without Pilates. I have flat feet and an extra bone in one foot. My whole body is misaligned because of it and I have had several injuries that are exacerbated by the severe pronation. Working out has always been difficult, pulling muscles easily, spraining my ankles constantly, and knees slipping out of place with barely any force. Pilates has made it possible for me to strengthen, align, and improve every part of my body, allowing me to live a more functional life, all while in grippy ankle socks. I can't wait to see how the next six months go! The instructors are really nice as well and the community is amazing. Emily, I know it's early for a review. Im just obsessed and wanted to make your morning! Cheers!

If you have not taken pilates before or want to learn the reformer you should take a beginner private to learn how to position yourself for the work. It's highly worth it.

When I moved to Denver, I was hoping to finally find a studio with reformers and other equipment. I go between both studios in the Highlands and Wash Park. The community is just so lovely, the teachers so welcoming and the pricing actually affordable. I went from post-pandemic lack of exercising to Pilates 3 times a week. All of the instructors have been incredible. Emily and Kim truly have the magic touch with these studios. I've been practicing for 5 months and have seen my body change in ways I've never seen by just going to the gym. My body is stronger, more flexible and overall having a bit of a glow-up haha. After losing 120 lbs this has been the best, low impact way to build muscle, have more energy and look and feel pretty amazing. If you have been debating giving this a try or are looking for a studio with kind, helpful and one-on-one attention, this is the place. The classes are small but this allows you to actually improve with the help of your teachers. There is no pretentiousness here, just an open, welcoming and kind community. Plus, it's fun!

Just moved to Denver and learned about classpass. This was the first place I came to with the pass…read moreand I had a great experience. Street parking could be a little tricky depending on the time of your class, but I parked down the street around the corner. Nothing to fuss about. The studio is attached to an apartment complex, so it looks a bit camouflaged. The entrance is on 29th ave versus the actual address on Wyandot, it's right at the corner and there is a ramp going down. There is also a signage, so you should miss it. I was greeted with warm welcome since it was my first time, I just had to sign a waiver. The instructor gave me the quick run down of the place and how class goes, especially it would be my first time again with pilates since 2017. It is a small intimate studio with 7 machine. They alternate between reformer and cadillac each week, so if you're prone to one or the other best call or text to find out. This week, we're on the cadillac. It was very calm and easy to follow. Definitely for all levels of pilates. I was definitely shaking towards the end of the class and I felt great. I was exhausted for the rest of the day! It means that it was a great class and I'm out of shape, haha! I will definitely come again!

Don't let the location fool you; it looks a bit like you're walking into an apartment building, but it's cute and cozy and clean once you walk in. The equipment is great (some of the best reformers in the city). Most important are the teachers. Ansley and Krista are both pros; I always feel like I get a solid workout, but I also love the cooldown/stretch at the end (not every studio does this). Oh, and they have the best music mix. They do a great job with watching your form and giving tailored, personalized adjustments. And they clearly explain how to modify each move so you can push yourself, but not feel intimidated when you're starting out.
